[plug] Getting [entire] Ubuntu repository on CD/DVD?

[Timothy White]

I have an Ubuntu mirror at home (Riverton) for AMD64. Using debmirror
you can pull a mirror for yourself with the sections you want. So you
don't need the whole 150Gb like someone mentioned.
AMD64 Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, main, restricted, multiverse, universe, no
sources, comes to 16Gb.  (That's just the "feisty" section, not
updates or security.

dapper,dapper-security,dapper-updates,dapper-backports,edgy,edgy-security,edgy-updates,edgy-backports
with sections main/debian-installer,main,universe,restricted,multiverse
in AMD64
Comes to about 28G

When I get home next Friday, I'll be putting the mirror on my external
HDD for while I'm over here (eastern states) stuck on 1Gb month mobile
internet.

If you wanted next weekend, (Saturday) you could grab that off me. Or
as mentioned by others, go into UWA with your laptop, and slurp it
down. I'm not sure though, recently I've had problems with the UWA
mirror and have switched to the iinet mirror.
